Recap of the must-attend startup event, Vivatech 2019! Cocolis was there.

From May 16th to 18th, Cocolis was with La Poste at Vivatech 2019 to present THE practical, reliable and eco-friendly transport solution for heavy and bulky goods: parcel carpooling or co-transportation.

Electric, autonomous or shared, mobility was present in many forms at Vivatech. With over 124,000 visitors from 125 countries, it’s the must-attend event for innovation and technology in Europe.

In 2017, Cocolis was already present at Vivatech on the SNCF stand and we loved the experience. That’s why we were so happy when we got confirmation that we would be there again this year on La Poste’s stand!

Cocolis… on La Poste’s stand? Yes indeed! 🙂

The La Poste Group, far from being just about sending letters and parcels, is very active in innovation and technology. That’s why this major French company highlights startups on its stand at Vivatech. And this year, Cocolis was one of the selected projects.

Cocolis had the honour of being one of the 40 startups that had the chance to present their business alongside La Poste (see the full list).

But… isn’t Cocolis a competitor of La Poste?

Not really. Cocolis is an alternative for transporting items that are too heavy, bulky or fragile to be sent by La Poste. For example, household appliances, car parts, furniture.

Cocolis has two goals: reduce road traffic and pollution.

La Poste is fast and affordable for sending small parcels. And there are La Poste branches all over France, close to home. On the other hand, Cocolis takes over to deliver heavy, bulky, fragile or unpackageable items… at a lower cost! Eliette Vincent, co-founder of Cocolis
